Shantytown (4)

I believe the answer is:

slum

(Other definitions for slum that I've seen before include "Ghetto" , "Over-crowded run-down city area" , "Area of bad housing" , "Squalid and overcrowded urban area" , "Squalid, overcrowded dwelling" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
